Are you like me in feeling like there is something important you have to do in life? Could you have an essential message to communicate? What the heck is an “essential message,” anyway? Is it supposed to be something that impacts everyone?
Before you turn away, thinking you have nothing of such import to share, let me ask you something else.
What does your heart long to express in the world?
Are you a secret star waiting to emerge on the stage of life?
Not for You If…
You are trying to figure out the ways you are supposed to be…
Rule books are your guide…
You’ve already decided that you’ve reached your limit for discovery,
Or you want to hold fast to the structures you’ve created…
This is not for you.
However, This is For You If…
This is for you if you know that you have something to bring to the world. That your message may be important for one other person or for thousands. Even if you have not yet given it expression. Even if it’s showing itself as a feeling rather than being fully formed.
Most especially, if that insistent voice within you demanding expression simply will not be stilled.
There are possibilities you have not yet embraced.
If You Don’t Like Limbo
If you are waiting for the magic moment of perfection to share your message, you will stay stuck in the limbo of waiting. Do you remember Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? Indiana had to cross a chasm to get to the Holy Grail and save his father. His step forward threatened to be a free fall into the void. He had to align with his deep sense of purpose and venture forward.
The bridge appeared after he took his first step.
The path appears when you are willing to give expression to your voice. Take a step forward and the next one is revealed. You find your footing as you step into the unknown.
How to Discover Your Essential Message to the World
Listen to what is stirring within you. Become quiet, so that you allow space for the voice to surface and get louder; so that you can feel what is ready to emerge. It will show you the way if you allow it.
Our expression carries the vibration of our inner voice to the world. Clarity, balance and feeling are the keys. This transmits a vibration that resonates with truth. It has impact at a cellular level. This is energy that can uplift, align and direct.
As we live and express in alignment with our deep inner truth, the vibratory rate rises in our cells. When transmitted to the world, we offer a tuning fork for other cells to resonate and connect. The field of energy expands exponentially.
This is the impact that changes the world.
What is waiting within you that is looking for expression? Breathe deeply into the space that contains your essential message. Give it wings. The world needs to hear you.
A new star is shining.
Reflection
Take a breath. Release it. Take another. Devote some dedicated time of concentration/meditation. It doesn’t need to be hours of quiet, perhaps only 15 minutes. Then allow the question to simmer within you. Let responses bubble up into your awareness. Notice new ways of thinking, of images or ideas that arise spontaneously. Pay attention to your dreams. Let it happen. Be aware. See where it leads you next. Let yourself savor this process of receiving from yourself. Don’t judge whatever comes up, just receive it. Make notes.
I invite you to share something from this process. Sharing is an important way to anchor an insight in your body. It leads you to deeper insight. It stimulates action.
Scroll down and add your comments. We’d love to hear from you!
** Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
One personal life-changing event: A shift in focus happened after moving with my husband and children to another city, leaving behind all my family and friends. I had been so busy finding a place to live, searching a good school for the children and assisting my husband in building up his business that I didn’t have time and attention for “me”. Used to “follow and serve” , I didn’t take time to feel and think about what I left behind… So after all was set and done, and there was time over for me, I fell into a depression… One sunny morning I was sitting in the garden…. feeling lonely and depressed…. and then all of a sudden a beam of sunlight fel on my face and my heart and a really felt the warmth and the brightness entering into my body.. Something opened deep inside…. and I “heard/felt” a voice saying: Our Heart is capable of loving all that is… beyond personal love. And I “knew” ( I remembered) that very moment that is was time to turn attention within and take care of my self and give way to my inner soul-light, step by step. To put this into action was my conscious and personal choice:)
What a message, Annet! That inner knowing/remembering can shift our direction in a moment. What you express in your teaching, your art and your way of living is testament to your willingness to let your inner-light shine. Thank you for sharing you.
Big hug! Laurie
In external noisy/chaotic standards of living,inner/external Peace is in Pieces.
Heart has 40 times more electrical energy than brain & Heart has its own reasons which Head will never understand hence they are clashing.
Synchronizations of Head/Heart/Hand is challenging unless Mind/Body/Intellect/Emotions & Soul are calm /composed.
There is process of calming Mind/Body by following method,
1) Do things you need to do sincerely
2) Do not do things you should not do ie discipline from negatives.
3) Pranayams(breathe control techniques).
4) Avoidable toxins at all places viz work/family/friends/relations
5) Meditation-concentrating at work/play & life activities including Love.
6) Goal setting/resetting & achieving with measurable metrics
7)Feelings of Equibalance at work/life/personal/professional play areas.

Mahesh–The heart connects us with truth and the “bigger picture”, so it indeed has its own reasons. Thank you for your suggestions for calming, which can open the door for deepening that inner connection.

Laurie, you used the metafoor of Indiana Jones stepping into the unknown. What a beautiful example it is!
I felt very touched by another metafoor, a song, which tells the same story in a different way.
Love and light!
Annet.
Let Me Fall…
Let me fall,
Let me climb,
There’s a moment when fear and dreams must collide.
Someone I am is waiting for courage,
The one I want,
The one I will become will catch me.
So, let me fall,
If I must fall,
I won’t heed your warnings,
I won’t hear them.
All I ask,
All I need,
Let me open whichever door I might open.
Let me fall,
And if I fall,
All the feelings may or may not die.
I will dance so freely,
Holding onto to no one,
You can hold me only if you too will fall,
Away from all,
These useless fears and chains.
Someone I am is waiting for my courage,
The one I want,
The one will become will catch me.
So let me fall,
If I must fall,
I won’t heed your warnings,
I won’t hear.
Let me fall,
And if I fall,
There’s no reason to miss this one chance,
This perfect moment,
Just let me fall.

Ah Annet–so beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing this. Laurie
That is beautiful Annet!
I am doing a lot of release work right now – as I do every year at this time – to clear the path for my heart’s desires in 2015.
Thanks for coming by, Mary! Love to hear about how your heart’s desires come alive in 2015. Laurie
